Van Briggle Art Pottery

When: Tue., May 19 2009

Time to touch base with two town art staples, both of which recently
underwent changes. First, stop into the newly renovated Michael
Garman Museum (2418 W. Colorado Ave., michaelgarman.com) to see an expanded
Magic Town exhibit of miniaturized city scenes and displays of Garman's
works from a half-century ago. Visit any day from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Next,
visit the recently relocated Van Briggle Art Pottery at 1024 S.
Tejon St. (vanbriggle.com), which
just celebrated its grand opening. The 110-year-old outfit claims to be
the oldest continuously run art pottery in the country, and still makes
pieces casted by founder Artus Van Briggle. Regular hours are 10 to 6,
Monday through Saturday, and 1 to 5, Sunday. —
